had to pull him after a costly mistake. >> hanging breaking ball to phillips is something that you don't want to happen and definitely in a big game situation like this. the hanging breaking balls always hurt more. >> it would have been nice to score more runs for him so he could have stayed in there longer. >> reporter: tonight the goal will be to string some hits together. looking for that elusive big hit. some not so good news. the last time the giants lost the first game of a postseason series and came back to win, 1921 against the new york yankees and that was when the world series was nine games. i think it's time. i think they can do it. let's get it back to you. >> that's scary. 1921. thank you very much. let's bring in kate who is live.

a's looking for redemption after that tough loss in detroit. kate? >> reporter: you're absolutely right. after the a's lost last night dropping the first game in the first playoff appearance since 2006, the a's staged one of the most remarkable comebacks in the nl west so the green and gold are not too worried. the a's took the field saturday behind rookie jared parker who takes the loss despite a stellar outing. oakland couldn't get offense going against justin verlander. the american league mvp gave off a home run but after that he kept the a's offbalance striking out 11 making the a's ready for one more. >> i guess good maybe that we play at noon. i don't know if there's anything good about a noon game but if there is it's coming off a loss and being able to get out there. >> you have to let it go. go home and get some rest and come back here and focus on doug

fister. >> reporter: now this is an early start time for the athletics given bay area time but the players told me they're adjusted to east coast time and they just want to get back out there and turn things around and once again they're going behind yet another rookie pitcher in tommy malone. kate longworth, nbc bay area news. >> good thing they're good at comebacks. amy and kate are part of our team at comcast sports net and that is a spot for the best pre and post-game coverage. tune in an hour before the first pitch and immediately following that last out for in-depth coverage on csn bay area and csn california and we go live to candlesti candlestick. gates are opening at 8:00 because of the crush of traffic. good morning, mindy. >> reporter: it's sure to be a full house here at candlestick

info as well. back to you. >> thank you very much. if you want to avoid the crowds, you're best bet again is to stay out of the city all-together if you're not into all of the fun and festivities. still ahead on "today in the bay," we sit down with our political analyst larry gerston to break down the presidential race and the upcoming vice presidential debate.

now to decision 2012. president obama is back on the west coast today for what else? a fund-raising trip. the president will be in los angeles tonight for a concert featuring katy perry, earth wind and fire and stevie wonder among others. tomorrow night he'll be at the bill graham civic auditorium for another concert. that event is already sold out. after the concert is a reception dinner with tickets that cost as much as $40,000 per couple. next week the president will go head to head with mitt romney for the second of three debates and between now and then a showdown between vice president

joe biden and republican candidate paul ryan that will potentially add more fuel to a contentious political environment. from what happened and what is next, let's bring in nbc bay area's political analyst larry gerston. the question is people say the debates don't matter. too much emphasis. i think i disagree. i think you disagree. >> people who say they don't matter are the ones who say we lost. of course they matter. yes they matter. an estimated 70 million people watch the first debate. that's a lot of eyes watching a debate. it's hard to imagine for many it was their first introduction to especially mitt romney, who they haven't paid attention to. all this comes weeks, less than a month now, less than a month now, the clock is ticking before we have that next election. people are starting to pay attention to what some of us are doing for months and this is the time to get serious. >> we forget that sometimes --

sometimes we forget that they are together. that is the first time they shook hands in five years, right? >> yeah. >> so a lot of folks saying that mitt romney did better than the president, that the president did not pull his weight. what do you think? >> the fact of the matter is democrats are going to turn themselves inside out to playdown this whole thing and they should. because they didn't do well. their guy just didn't do well. the person that comes out ahead in ground run, it's important. that person sets the tone for the next two contests. romney did a great job pivoting from the far right where he was during the primary system to the center. he did that in 90 minutes flat. so what some commonly call flip-flopping really occurred in a major way last wednesday and romney was able to get away with

it. >> definitely interesting. you saw mitt romney that you hadn't seen before and a president that you hadn't really seen before. so looking ahead, the vice president candidates are going to debate. what can we expect out of there? >> we'll get a kick out of this. this is going to be such an interesting degree of difference between the two. right off the bat we're going to see generational differences. biden is 69. romney is 42. age is a funny thing when it comes to politics. the question is will biden look like yesterday's news or full of wisdom? will ryan appear as a youth or full of new energy? this is incredible? we can expect ryan to spit out statistic after statistic, one after another and biden is going to need÷ó"5÷ to call ryan on questionable data. i tell you, for his part, biden has to do a much better job defending the administration's record over the past four years.

something ryan will be sure to attack. this thursday night get ready to rumble. it will be very different. stark contrast. sit back and enjoy this. whatever else, that vp is the next in line. >> you're popping popcorn. i want to ask you quickly. we saw the clip earlier from big bird responding to the fact that mitt romney called him out as one of the reasons that we have a federal deficit. i would assume republican or democrat you think you can't attack big bird and think you'll look good afterward. >> this is going to come down to a gaffe. if romney says let's go ahead and stop funding pbs, people will think, national geographic. history channel stuff. whatever. you pick on big bird, my goodness. that's almost unconstitutional. it's going to be the kind of thing you saw "saturday night live" do something on it last night. this is going to come up again. big bird protesters. it will come up and be a

distraction. i think he probably regrets saying that. good news is another debate comes this week and then two more after that. >> they can say so few gaffes. can you imagine? everywhere all the time. >> hundreds of speeches maybe more in the course of the campaign. it's amazing. >> shocking it doesn't happen more often. thank you very much, larry. the presidential debate will be a hot topic on "meet the press." here's david gregory with more on that. >> romney delivers in the first debate but new improving jobs numbers show unemployment below 8%. what does it mean as voters begin to head to the polls? has the race taken a new turn? we'll cover it all this morning with a special panel including the senior's presidential adviser robert gibbs and republican candidate newt gingrich. and my one-on-one interview with the former california governor on politics and the person. that's coming up this morning on

"meet the press." "meet the press" airs at 8:00 immediately following this newscast. we have more on the bay's big weekend coming up. this morning we're looking at sunshine even in the south bay but temperatures are cool once you step out the door. you'll notice a noticeable difference. we're talking about 40s in the south bay. we'll bring down your forecast and get you through the next week coming up after.

the south bay. kind of unusual. 49 in san jose. even in santa cruz. 49. very chilly. even up against our beaches. definitely not beach weather today as those clouds will start to move on. you can see we don't have a lot of cloud cover at the immediate coast but this is our system that's going to move its way as we head through the next couple days. you can see the upper level spin and clouds that are forming on the bottom end of that. that's showing organization. once that eventually gets its act together, it will slide across the bay area as we head through monday and the chance of showers arrives for tuesday. we have a lot happening across the pacific. you can see that first spin. that's our upper level low. we also have a larger system off across the pacific. this thing here you can see that cloud cover and convection with that. that's what will move through as we head toward friday and saturday of this upcoming week. two chances of rain coming up as we head through this upcoming week. first one with this cutoff low will bring autumn showers through tuesday. for monday we're expecting just a little bit of fog and drizzle

at the coast. not until tuesday that this thing offers a few showers and it's not going to be widespread rain for everybody. it will be hit and miss. you'll have to get lucky to get the raindrops. 60s and 70s inland. and 50s and 60s at the coast for that fog arriving by tomorrow evening. again, for the timing of this, here's what our fall cast shows. by tomorrow morning, we'll start off with fog at the coast. it's not until tomorrow night that those clouds really start to pull in. the moisture starts to become more widespread. we're expecting to see drizzle at the coast tomorrow night and even for tuesday look at this. look how hit and miss showers will be. you won't see it across the board but there will be showers in the area for tuesday. the thing scoots to our south by wednesday but even on wednesday there will be lingering showers as our atmosphere has to wring out that last bit of rain. keep the umbrella handy on wednesday. you won't need it today. 75 in santa rosa. south bay numbers lower 70s in

san jose. it will be chilly. not like what we saw last weekend when we were in the 90s and triple digits. about a 30-degree drop. in san francisco again, you heard lots going on. you can take your pleasure. whatever you decide to do. hour by hour forecast. by noon it will be 66. by 4:00, the temperatures will start to fall. the fog starts to arrive at the coast and tonight again that fog and breeze will be in place. tomorrow, drizzle at the coast. tuesday, showers more widespread for inland interior valleys and for wednesday a few lingering showers. we see more sun for thursday. you know what? overall i think you'll notice a big difference from last week to this week. more cloud cover. cooler temperatures and even shower activity will start to move back in. this time last year we already had picked up an inch of rain in san francisco. we're behind but here we go. >> a lot of folks don't care how many things are going on around the bay area. yard work. nice and cool for you too. and so tonight also the niners take on the buffalo bills at

1:25. gates open in a half hour to fans beat the traffic. we'll get to that in just a bit. [ woman ] dear chex cereal,

i've never written a fan letter before, but you've done what i thought was impossible: you made good-for-you, gluten-free cereals in a whole bunch of yummy flavors. cinnamon chex and honey nut chex are two of our favorites. when my husband rob found the chocolate one, we were in cereal heaven. the only problem is, with so many great flavors you're making it very hard to choose. so thanks. from your fans, the mcgregor family. 'cause we love chex. [ male announcer ] love chex? connect with us on facebook.
